Methods for Public Health Practice
Exponential distribution is a probability distribution that describes the time between events in a Poisson process, where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate. This distribution is often used in various fields, including public health, to model the time until an event occurs, like the time until failure of medical devices or the time between arrivals of patients at a clinic. Understanding exponential distribution helps in analyzing survival data and waiting times in different scenarios.
